Sunglasses For Golf

I'm looking into sunglasses, and I'm down to these two. The NYX are carbon frames with yellow, grey, and dark lenses, adn the Tifosi Tyrants have smoke polarized, red and yellow lenses. Which are better for golf?

Polarized lenses are not necessarily what you need for golf, they work best on water by blocking out glare. The most important thing you need is something with optical clarity and for that Oakley is the best. I have been through a truck they have that demonstrates all of their technology and it's amazing. I think they have some of the presentation on their web site.

Im looking for a pair of sunglasses

please list good companies

thanks!
Thanks for the answers so far....

I was wondering if you could also include prices

KEEP IN MIND THAT THESES COMPANIES MUST MAKE SUNGLASSES FOR WOMEN ALSO.

thanks

Actually Kaenon's are known for being better than either Oakley or Maui Jim, their polarized lens material provides amazing clarity and much better scratch resistance.

Kaenon's range from about $150 - $299, you can find deals on some styles though for less - but even at full price, they are worth it. They also make a number of women's styles and can be seen on several on the LGPA

Im a caddy/ forecaddy and sometimes its hard to watch the eniter flightpath of a ball, especially just as it passes over your head and on days where there are clouds, even on sunny days. The worst thing obviously for caddies to do is to lose a ball. So would sunglasses help see the ball or is there a better way? And if sunglasses work, does anyone know any good affordable brands that would help.
I have a pair of akdema baseball sunglasses. Would those work or should i get golf sunglasses or does it make no difference?

Try your baseball glasses first as specialist golfing sunglasses DO help and not only look good on the golf course, their light-weight materials make them ideal for any sport.

Depending on the brand, they will block out all the harmful UV400 rays but allow for fuller clarity on the ball in bright sunlight and cloud conditions, this clearer vision allows a perfect view of all the hazards and undulations on the course.

Some styles ensure that no sunlight comes over the top or around the sides of the frames. For example, http://www.qualitysunshades.com/index.ph p?cPath=3_28_29

i need new shades and i want custom oakleys. what model would make sense for both the sports i play in the spring and summer?

One of the Flak Jacket or Radar models. You might have to get somewhere to try them on and find which lens shape/style you prefer.

Both have the newer hydrophobic lenses though, and both utilize interchangeable lenses. You're very likely going to want to switch lenses depending on conditions -- the Flak Jacket replacement lenses tend to run more affordable, however.

And for what it's worth, I'd strongly recommend looking at polarized lenses for anything you'd use in bright / daylight settings.

Oakleys, I even heard the Callaways are nice.
